Royal Cover-Up and BBC Lies Exposed After 20-Year Investigation
Billed simply as “An interview with HRH The Princess of Wales,” with no warning of what was to come, the programme became the most controversial broadcast ever aired by the BBC. The interview, aired in November 1995 and watched by 23 million viewers in the UK and 200 million globally, was not a straightforward conversation but a carefully staged performance.
Recorded two weeks earlier, it was a rehearsed double act designed with a specific purpose. Diana appeared memorable decades later, her eyes wide and vulnerable as she declared:
“There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”
This line was delivered perfectly, with Diana responding fluently, as if rehearsed, tossing out sharp, prepared answers like a seasoned celebrity on a talk show. One notable reply was:
“I'd like to be a queen of people's hearts. In people's hearts.”
The questions were not always soft; interviewer Martin Bashir asked if Diana had been unfaithful to Prince Charles, specifically whether she had sex with her boyfriend James Hewitt during her marriage:
“Were you unfaithful?”
Diana answered plainly, “I adored him.”
Summary
This landmark BBC interview was a crafted spectacle that unveiled intimate royal revelations, leaving a lasting mark on public memory and media history.
